For Windows users who is interested I have just added the Cygwin Windows port 
of wget to my LRP page. http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/msensney/WGET.EXE
Download this file, add it somewhere in your path and run it from a DOS Window.

This program is a "Swiss Army Knife" web file grabber. Try the help command 
to get an idea of what it can do. 
wget --help                      ; massive help listing

For the purpose of just fetching a file from a web site, these 2 forms of 
the command will work just fine.
wget -nd http://file.url         ; fetch a file to your current directory
wget -O pathname http://file.url ; fetch a file and rename "pathname"

Enjoy.
Mike
